[Bridge](https://www.bridge-bs.co.jp/?ref=news.knockology.com) [has opened reservations](https://prtimes.jp/main/html/rd/p/000000043.000157042.html?ref=news.knockology.com) for five mechanical-pencil designs based on [Kore Kaite Shine](https://www.vap.co.jp/korekaite-shine/?ref=news.knockology.com), the anime about discovering the work of making manga. The pencils cost ¥660 each including Japanese tax through its [Tomostore shop](https://tomostore-online.com/shops/korekaite?ref=news.knockology.com).

The made-to-order window opened September 25 and runs through November 2 at 23:59, as listed in the Japanese announcement. Shipping charges are additional.

The artwork gives the characters a cartoonist’s outfit, with berets and drawing tools. A mechanical pencil is a fitting choice for merchandise tied to a story about creating manga: the object can do some of the work the story celebrates.

This is licensed-product news, with no new pencil mechanism announced. The release does not specify lead diameter. U.S. delivery, U.S. pricing and a shipping timetable have not been confirmed; the reservation deadline should not be mistaken for a dispatch date.
